No collab for Thanksgiving as I imagine a TON of us will be busy (and of course the possible gift exchange!) so next VTM Collab will be Christmas I think! :D What clan - if any - should be celebrated?
I'll let this run long, let's see! <3

Dani, former Hunter - current Tremere. How she got here was messy. <3 Dani belongs to @auroramutt! Thank you so much for commissioning me!! I loved learning her lore!!!
I would like to hear about some of your funny reoccurring Chronicle jokes that happened due to little goofs on the part of a player or the ST... for example - Raymond Mulder (@thesixthplaneteer 's hunter character) is canonically a direct descendent of Godwynn (also thesixthplaneteer's Ventrue) because we used the same face claim for them in different games and oops! Let's just roll with it!
Clan Hecata and Clan Banu Haqim. Contemplating Death in viscerally different ways. I loved this and I'm glad the ball is rolling again! It's one big piece but I split it to make viewing the picture a little easier! Isaiah Giovanni belongs to @astral--ghost and Malone belongs to @snipeth! Thank you so much for commissioning me!
Formally requested by @thesixthplaneteer for his Nyth and I of course am legally obligated to follow through for him. <3
Once again an amazing concept from @chiss-ticism - the initiation of the Black Hand: Judy - with the weeping mother Zillah and father Caine at her side.
AHHH such a fun drawing! I imagined mother Zillah (also known as the Weeping Stone) as liquid-y and the elusive Caine more shadowy and Chiss just let me have fun with it. Loved every second of it, thank you again for coming back and commissioning me!

Fangfest 2024 - Day Twenty-One - Judgement Sydney Arya was Embraced in the early 90s while working as a university librarian in Reno, NV in the United States. An English transplant with nowhere to go and with no clue about what he was, by some stroke of fate he met the first Dusk Angel while starving in some random back alley. He was given guidance, given a new purpose, and fell deeply in love with the Dusk Angel and formed a special relationship that still haunts him to modern nights. When the news hit that the first Dusk Angel was supposedly killed by a hunter and Reno was falling to chaos between rival vampire sects, Sydney took on the mantle of Dusk Angel and fled into the night to re-establish the resistance elsewhere. Eventually landing in Atlanta, a hotseat of activity with a sudden boom of new Thinbloods being shovel-headed, Sydney now tries to lead the confused new blood into a new age, trying to maintain his own humanity in the process. Judgement represents an awakening, redemption, renewal and transition. When a period comes to an end to make way for a new beginning. The Dusk Angel once again stands at a precipice, riding the knife's edge between becoming what he may fear the most, or becoming something greater.
Fangfest 2024 - Day Twenty - The Sun
It's almost funny when arguably one of the worst days of your life is the best thing that ever happened to you.
Ralph never considered himself lucky - just another awkward military brat who grew up trying to join the army counter intelligence program who then proceeded to lose his leg on his first deployment who then became an Instagram thot to avoid the horrors of fighting for his benefits as a disabled veteran. It was only after he was spite-Embraced by an incel Nosferatu and came out a waterblood that things started looking up. Now he didn't have to engage often with people who didn't understand his weird way of thinking, met the bestest friends he's ever had, was offered community (even if he rejected it in the end) from the fullblood Nosferatu, and of course met his beloved Khloworm.
The Sun card in tarot represents enlightment, joy, success and material happiness, even marriage. Ralph faces his life head-on because he has a purpose that motivates him, and also because he is surrounded by the immutable love of his entire coterie.
(Not canon YET but they are definitely going to drink the Formulae that gives you the ability to tattoo. Every member of Stakebait gets the staked heart tattoo, and Ralph of course wants ink of his lover covering up the mottled mess of his former tatts his Embrace messed up! Still a little messed up unfortunately, damn low-tier Nos Curse. Fear not viewer, Khloe designed and drew it herself.)
Fangfest 2024 - Day Nineteen - The Moon Embraced during her slumber some time ago, Lyubov has existed mentally only within her dreams - and after some practice and time, others' dreams - for decades. An experiment that supposedly was testing guerilla training tactics performed by her sire, the Tremere Atticus, who only at the turn of the millennia decided to free her from her endless and chaotic sleep. Now awake and walking around these modern nights, nothing feels completely real to her anymore. Or it all simply feels so mundane that it makes her bored beyond belief to walk around within the strict laws of physics. She is a relative master of the path of Morpheus, but at the cost of feeling anything, especially with the dulled physical senses that come with being Kindred. She craves extreme sensations, dangerous situations, ruthless people - even if the consequences are severely stacked against her. The Moon represents deception, illusions, hidden things and confusion. Lu sits by a waterfall of blood within her dream-plane, gazing at the onlooker and daring them to come and play.
Half of the full @crownedinmarigolds/@thesixthplaneteer's VTM Canon Tarot deck for Fangfest 2024! We're over halfway there and I'm very happy with the work done! Thank you everyone for liking my stuff and of course thank you to all participants who are giving us the GOOD STUFF. Lets finish off strong! (I'm excited)
Fangfest 2024 - Day Fifteen - Temperance Xandi's entire life has been a fight of some kind. Born to a white mother and a black father during the 1930s American South, she's struggled to find her place and to maintain her dignity and pride for as long as she can remember. Forced to be tough and grow up early, the clever maneuverability and skills she acquired aided her in eventually getting a job as a CIA operative during the height of the Cold War. Despite constantly proving herself, it was still always a fight. Someone had a problem with her, someone got it better than her. It felt like she was always fighting against the current just because she existed. She met Zubayr Agha early when she crossed the pond. Someone who finally saw her as talented and important. Useful. It made her feel good to be seen as reliable and deserving of respect. He was an Assamite, a noble assassin with a taste for blood in the more literal sense, and he ghouled her with the promise of her always having a purpose and place in their society. After serving her time training and helping lay down the foundation for the fall of the Soviets, she was Embraced and then trained further into becoming the perfect weapon to serve the clan. In modern nights, things are changing and her place is shaky. She is so tired of being a warrior, of the fight. She wants to rest - she wants peace and to belong. Not as a tool, but as a person. Temperance is a card of balance, moderation and patience. Xandi wants to be gentle, to go with the flow rather than to strike like a dagger. One day, maybe she'll get to know true balance.
Fangfest 2024 - Day Fourteen - Death Joaquin "Quino" Alvarro Hidalgo-Giovanni is the maker of his own fate. Born into a clan of vampires, a heritage soaked in blood, he has fought tooth and nail against his family the second his father came back from the dead. He could see it, how wrong it was, how he and his baby sister were being used, but it wasn't until she was chosen for the Embrace when he finally did something about it. He slipped to the Tenochtitlan Sabbat the location of the Hidalgo family compound, and during the family get together they were descended upon. But it was too late, Noa Hidalgo was already dead, and Quino was prevented from even gathering her body before the Sabbat decided they weren't keen on playing nice with mortals. After escaping capture, Quino went to America heartbroken and completely alone, but not without fervor. He would use all the information during his ghouled years within the Giovanni clan to fight back against the Supernatural. A bloody and merciless hunter of all things that prey in the night: this shit shouldn't exist. Maybe his father would've died honorably. Maybe his sister would be alive and well. Maybe he could've been normal. Death is a card that represents endings, transformation, change. Joaquin's life is a series of upheavals, but he knows before his own ending, he'll be delivering yours.
